After 2 years of international volunteering, I'm back home to pick up where I left off and start working as a psychologist in Budapest. I consider myself a person who truly loves to live, and I am passionate about many many things, be it from cycling to fermentation, psychology, linguistics and farming to a good novel. I truly admire people who are spontaneous and honest with kindness, who like to laugh a lot and cry when life brings them to, and who are always curious and eager to learn about the world at large and themselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although my travelling and adventurous period is now a bit on hold due to career ambitions, I want to continue to nurture my international contacts and repay the kindness I have received from the most unexpected places during my travels.

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to be an indie folk, alternative rock kind of guy, but now I've really got into traditional folk, electronic, funk and classical music, and I think that nothing is as fun to party to as gypsy and Balkan music.
About movies, one of my favourite things to do is going to the little art cinemas of Budapest sooo I'm a very huge fan of movies! Super hard to pick but some of my favourites: Isle of Dogs, Good Will Hunting, The Lord of the Rings, Men and Chicken, Nowhere Special, In Bruges
I read a lot, my favourite authors of the last few years are by far Murakami Haruki and Irvin D. Yalom. The favourite of my childhood was The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini, which can not be praised enough.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cycled back home from Tallinn in the summer of 2024 and with this journey I also raised almost 1000 euros for the organisation that I volunteer for every summer in Hungary called Bátor Tábor that organises camps for children with cancer and diabetes.

Teach, Learn, Share

During my years of volunteering, working on organic farms, living in eco-communities and much more, I learned a lot about sustainability, community living, cooking and myself. I'm very happy to share these experiences, which, by the way, I've been going through with my dear flatmate and love Melina, who will probably also be present for this talk, giving some extra credit to it. I'd also love to talk to you about languages, fermentation, music (I have a ukulele and guitar in the flat), psychology, Hungary, whatever.
We'll probably have home-made wine and pálinka from my grandfathers and kombucha from myself when you arrive, and we'll probably throw together some food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If we were thrown together by life, I would be very happy to talk to you in Hungarian and English with great comfort, Italian with the greatest pleasure and many mistakes, German with a very rusty vocabulary, or French like a Cro-Magnon man. I'm usually very much down for a good conversation, but if you don't have the mood/time/energy, I'm absolutely up for a very quiet and calm time together if the situation calls for it.
